HACKSAW RIDGE In Theaters Nov. 4

HACKSAW RIDGE In Theaters Nov. 4

“HACKSAW RIDGE” is the extraordinary true story of WWII medic Desmond Doss, played by Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spiderman), who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, miraculously saved 75 men in a matter of hours without firing or carrying a gun.

He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, except the simple prayer he uttered before he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, under constant enemy gunfire and artillery bombardment.

Doss’ courage and faith won the admiration of his commanders and fellow soldiers, as he saved the lives of the very men who had persecuted him for refusing to carry a gun.

He believed the war was just, but to kill under any circumstance was wrong.

Doss was labeled the first conscientious objector (he called himself a “conscientious cooperator” as he volunteered) to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.

“Hacksaw Ridge” is directed by Mel Gibson (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ) and also stars Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths and Vince Vaughn.

Coming to theaters nationwide November 4

The first trailer for GET OUT has debuted online

by thisfunktionalartfreakLeave a Comment on The first trailer for GET OUT has debuted online

In Universal Pictures’ Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).

At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out is written and directed by Peele (Key and Peele) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, as well as Sean McKittrick (Donnie Darko, The Box), Peele and Edward H. Hamm Jr. (The Box, Bad Words).  The film also stars Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men series), Milton “Lil Rel” Howery (The Carmichael Show), Betty Gabriel (The Purge: Election Year), Marcus Henderson (Pete’s Dragon) and Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton).

Movie Review by Mike ‘The Movie Guy’ | ‘The Darkness’ : Never Take Things That Don’t Belong to You!

by KristinLeave a Comment on Movie Review by Mike ‘The Movie Guy’ | ‘The Darkness’ : Never Take Things That Don’t Belong to You!

The Darkness

From the Producers of The Purge and Insidious comes THE DARKNESS…

A family returns from a Grand Canyon vacation, haunted by an ancient supernatural entity they unknowingly awakened and engages them in a fight for their survival. The Darkness is directed by Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) and stars Kevin Bacon and David Mazouz (Gotham).

So, what did I think of THE DARKNESS?

OK…before I tell you – – I gotta share my freaky story.

So I watched this late last night – – like around 12:30 – – right in the middle of the movie – – when everything starts getting crazy – – all of sudden – on my 2 yr old’s baby monitor – I start to hear him talk. Crazy. I know. Question is…

Was he dreaming OR was he talking to ‘something’ or ‘someone?’ I guess I’ll never know – unless it happens again tonight. (lol)

OK, OK. Enough of that. What did I think of THE DARKNESS?

I like it. It was actually better than I expected. I’m always on the fence when it comes to supernatural PG-13 movies.

I thought the cast did a great job. Kevin Bacon (dad) was cool. Radha Mitchell (mom) was cool. Lucy Fry (daughter) was really cool. She had some intense moments – – very believable. David Mazouz (son) was really cool as well. This kid’s got some acting chops. It’s crazy to see how sophisticated he is as Bruce Wayne on Gotham – – – but in this – – he did good.

I thought the special effects were dope.

I thought the story of the ‘ancient demons’ were pretty sweet.

I thought the movie had some jumpy moments here and there…but nothing really scary.

I think THE DARKNESS is worth the watch – especially if you’re into movie like this.

Oh – – on the Blu-ray + Digital HD copy I got – – on the front cover it says: INCLUDES SHOCKING ALTERNATE ENDING!

I watched it…and personally…I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad they didn’t go with that ending instead. Yeah. I wasn’t a fan. (lol)

I give THE DARKNESS…3 out of 5 popcorns!

3d_rgb_nervebdocrdSANTA MÓNICA, CA (7 de septiembre de 2016) – Emma Roberts (de la serie televisiva “Scream Queens”) y Dave Franco (de la franquicia Now You See Me) protagonizan Nerve, un thriller romántico cargado de suspense dirigido a la generación de ‘millenials’, que desembarcará en Digital HD el 11 de octubre, y en Blu-ray Combo Pack (más DVD y Digital HD), DVD (más Digital) y en On Demand el 25 de octubre, de la mano de Lionsgate. Dirigida por Henry Joost y Ariel Schulman (Catfish) y escrita por Jessica Sharzer (de la serie televisiva “American Horror Story”), Nerve captura el actual clima de las redes sociales donde miles de voces anónimas son capaces de determinar el futuro de un puñado de individuos. El largometraje cuenta también con cameos de The Fat Jewish, Arielle Vandenberg y Casey Neistat, que se han convertido en fenómenos en las redes sociales.

Vee (Emma Roberts) es una estudiante aplicada de último año de secundaria que está cansada de llevar una vida aburrida. Presionada por sus amigos para que se una al popular juego ‘on line’ Nerve, Vee se alía con un competidor atractivo y astuto (Dave Franco) en un desafío que, a priori, parece una diversión inofensiva. Pero conforme Vee va cediendo frente a la adrenalina de la competición, el juego va dando un giro siniestro, aumentan los actos arriesgados, lo que culminará en un peligroso desenlace que determinará el futuro de Vee.

El Blu-ray Combo Pack y el Digital HD de Nerve le brindan la oportunidad a los televidentes de meterse en la piel del OBSERVADOR o del JUGADOR. Con el lanzamiento de los materiales especiales, el televidente elige entre el modo de OBSERVADOR o de JUGADOR. Como OBSERVADOR, se accede a las escenas detrás de las cámaras con 15 cortos de “Creating Nerve” que exploran cómo se hizo la película, las tomas descartadas de “The Fat Jewish Gets Tattewish” que muestran a Josh Ostrovsky (conocido como la personalidad digital ‘The Fat Jewish’) en la tienda de tatuajes, y “The Governor’s Ball Takeover”, una crónica de cómo se desarrolla el atrevido juego en el “Governor’s Ball” en Nueva York en 2016.

Además, los televidentes con sed de suspense pueden activar el modo de JUGADOR interactivo a través del test interactivo “Are You a Watcher or a Player”. Para los televidentes que busquen una inyección de adrenalina y los perfiles de los seis jugadores principales de Nerve, estará disponible el juego “Do You Have the Nerve?”. El Blu-ray de Nerve también incluye pistas de audio inmersivas DTS:X, que recrean y transmiten el sonido generado por un movimiento fluido. Se crea así un mejor entorno sonoro de lo que hasta ahora había sido posible ya que el movimiento del sonido se sitúa en el lugar exacto donde el mezclador lo ubicó. El DVD de Nerve solo incluye el contenido del modo OBSERVADOR. Nerve estará disponible en Blu-ray Combo Pack y DVD por $39.99 y $29.95, respectivamente.

Mike ‘The Movie Guy’ Review: THE DWARVENAUT

by KristinLeave a Comment on Mike ‘The Movie Guy’ Review: THE DWARVENAUT

Last night I had the chance to watch the documentary film…THE DWARVENAUT.

DWARVENAUT – Theatrical Trailer from Nate Taylor on Vimeo 

What did I think of THE DWARVENAUT?

I loved it. It was sooooooo good. This company is too sweet. The sculptures – amazing. The skills. Damn!

10 minutes into the documentary I was blown away…and I’m not just saying this because I used to play Dungeons & Dragons. (ohh the memories) It’s just a really well done documentary.

THE DWARVENAUT is a must see…especially if you’re a fan of D&D & fantasy flicks! Great job Mr. Director and story tellers. Great job.

THE DWARVENAUT releases on VOD today!
